Game was a gem with some (very) rough edges. I'm glad it ended up doing super well.

It was (is?) also on Game Pass and that PS Plus Collection too, no? I'd love to see what the total player count is.

That's no good at all, I remember the ps2/ps3 days where God of war and dark souls sold way less than an mainline final fantasy game, now God of war and dark souls 3 already surpassed them.

Back in the old days this was supposed to bomb and persona was supposed to take over for ff. I wonder who was around for those talks lol. The lead up to Ffxv was a fun time

Does anyone know if it's safe to play the game yet, I heard they've been trying to patch in more of its story

I wish they could unlock the framerate on PS5. The game looks so good at high resolutions, but the framerate is just not appropriate.
My fiancee just replayed through it on his PS5 a couple months ago and used the Performance mode at 60fps solid. He's not very framerate sensitive but he said it made all the difference in the world to him with how much smoother combat felt.

Slowly inching towards that 10 million copy goal. Though it would have reached that player wise between Gamepass and the PS Plus Collection.

Well deserved. Been playing FF for well over two decades and this is easily in my top 5 games. Have such a massive soft spot for this game.

If I know square it sold about half of what they projected?

Is the cellphone/switch demake also included?

One of my favorites (see avatar :P). 10 million should be achievable.

Afaik, this is for the PC/Consoles port only.

Honestly, I am surprised they never attempted to release it on PS5/XSX. Wasted potential with the PC upgrades and a DLSS 2.0 patch.

Congrats! Despite its issues, I really liked XV.
Not that it would ever happen or make much sense, but I would love if XV got an sequel, part 2 or some shit.
Oh well, it sucks that they cancelled some DLC's, aranea DLC would have been really neat.

I remember the threads when the first leaks and impressions dropped on the old place. Was a wild time.

We're in a timeline where even Monster Hunter is becoming more popular than FF. Took VII-R four months to do the same sales numbers as what Monster Hunter Rise did in one week. As long as SE is satisfied with the sales I don't think it matters.

I'll eventually get to it. I keep telling myself. I bought the physical edition at launch, then royal edition. If I don't get to it before Horizon FW. I don't think I ever will.

Well deserved! It's a great game (and the Royal Edition is just plain amazing).

I should be at or over 10 million by now, which is just insane and the development team's goal.





After being heavily disappointed with XII and barely liking XIII, XV's return to form was super refreshing. I was feeling like maybe the franchise was moving to a place I didn't like, but XV reignited the spark for me. One of my favorite games of the generation, easily, and it warms my heart to see so many people on YouTube enjoying the hell out of their playthroughs and getting very emotional by the ending.

A great journey, an amazing game that everyone should experience.

For me XV will always be the game that never lived up to absurd expectations, was egregiously unfinished, and had a celebration stream in which they cancelled all future support for the game and kicked/mutually separated from the game's director. What a shitshow.

It was decent enough on it's own but nothing mindblowing. Good character interactions and seemingly endless dialogue. Great visuals and OST, and some fun integrations of dungeons into the overworld. Solid 7/8 depending on what types of JRPG you like.

Yet these clowns cancelled three DLCs. XV will always have that "unfinished" feel to me.

The biggest egg this game laid was when they cancelled the additional support and mod tools which could've likely fixed and helped create much more content for the game. Otherwise, some solid dungeons although I wish there were more. Fantastic monster designs, weak combat, good music, bad story. 7/10

Fingers crossed Nomura gets to make his Versus/Verum Rex, I wouldn't even mind if they remixed the content of XV. 🤷🏻‍♀️

To see the glorified tech-demo that is FFXV do so well while other, more-deserving jRPG franchises struggle to reach a 10th of those numbers makes me lose faith in the future of the genre.

FFXV should have been better than what it was but despite its many flaws, it's still a solid game and I'm happy I played it. Happy for Square Enix
